Introdução:  C  

                                                     F  C 
One day the little house
                                             F  C 
Was surprised to see
                                                 F  C 
A car on the dirt road
                                                           F  C 
Where a carriage used to be
               G 
Pretty soon there were more
         F 
And as time passed
         C                             F  C 
The surveyors came
                                                             F  C 
And drew a line in the grass
                                     G                         F                           C 
The steam shovels dug, then the trucks brought stones
                   F                       C               Dm                             G 
Then the steam roller came and smoothed out the road
         C                         G                 F               C 
The little house, she could never be sold
               F             C                     G                             C 
So she sat and watched the building of the road
                                                                 F  C 
First it was gasoline stations
                                           F  C 
And roadside stands
                                                     F  C 
As roads became highways
                                                 F  C 
And carved up the land
 G 
Everything moved
           F 
Much faster than before
                   C                                           F  C 
Then the city came and knocked
                                                         F  C 
On the little house's door
                                     G                         F                           C 
The steam shovels dug, then the trucks brought stones
                   F                       C               Dm                             G 
Then the steam roller came and smoothed out the road
         C                         G                 F               C 
The little house, she could never be sold
               F             C                     G                             C 
So she sat and watched the building of the road
           G       F       C     F       C         Dm   G
